Easiest to clean wheels?????
My Wheels are the 17" Meteors, I think they are the easiest to clean alloy wheels I have ever had on a car.
I used to own a face lift Conn SE. She had 16" forked spoke alloys. These were the hardest alloy wheels to clean I have ever owned!! What were/are yours??

These are the alloys that I find are the easiest to clean.. 11 spoke.
The most difficult were the Crown's fitted to my previous 75.. Dave T |

Unions are barely easier to clean than the 17 spokes I used to have on my previous car and usually leave me with sore fingers, in fact they really could do with being pulled off and having a good going over right now, but there's something uniquely satisfying about running your fingers in the five curved-end grooves that they have... it's a bit like making love to a beautiful.... nevermind...

Nope. Never mind though, I kept one of the Crowns to use as a full size spare, and sold the Spacesaver.

Hmmm - I was about to post another vote for Meteors until I saw those! Anyhow, my Meteors are ceratinly easier to clean than the Serpents I had.
